I cannot understand how some overseas companies charge G.S.T.
Do they pass it on,what benefit to them?
Maybe they keep it?

Overseas companies with a turnover of sales to Australia above $A75k must register for GST and collect and remit it on sales to Australia. Same with digital sales from overseas

Is this mandatory.
How can A.T.O. enforce this.
How are o/s coys subject to Au legislation

Not me, I'm happy with the R94, I'm not bloody interested in the Rocca Birch, no matter how powerful the force could even bloody strike me down to buy it.

This is true, however only if they register, disclose and it doesn't looked enforced as we can't really stop them.

So none of you pricks better go dobbing in the major players!

Major players dobbed themselves in and 'report' their Australia sales so we as a country can claim these funds. It is the companies that claim the GST from Australian buyers who don't past this on to us that are the real bastards, err pricks.

Yes, if under a trade agreement and some other reciprocal agreements. Then a big phat no. We can't reach into any company's pocket who are not registered here.
Do you trust the major Chinese sites that make you pay GST, that are registered and disclose all of it.

Lets make a distinction here. Rapira platinum lux have a coating on them that grabs my hair on first use. Ie the whole first and second pass hence the dislike for Russian blades.
However the Rapira swedish supersteel I believe have little or no coating.

@StratMan only mentioning this so others consider their blade choice

We want to see a comparison shave between the V4 & 3one6 next SOTD!
